Here are some photos of me with some highly collectible items I saw at Dick Swan's house this past Saturday. Not all of these items are his. It's what people in our little comic book group brought over. So, here's me with a painted Looney Tunes comic, me with The Beatles butcher cover, a Marvel Comics piece of stationery with many signatures, some Cat-Man comic books, and both sides of a postcard sent out to readers of Famous Monsters #1. All very interesting and very rare stuff!
